Eat keto when you're hungry again. You won't die if you miss a few meals while your system gets rid of the garbage.

This was me last weekend, still farting lol!

If real cake/bread/cookies...etc... is present I have a hard time resisting (if even). But the longer I am LC the more these evils make my tummy hurt when I indulge!

Glad you are not beating yourself up for it though. Just go back to Keto and it will all work out in the end!

I tried microwave chocolate cake with almond flour once, the type you make in a coffee mug... yuck! But I had better luck with grain free hamburger buns... again almond flour. Tasted a bit like corn bread. But I'll try that one again.

Anybody tried to make oopsie bread? Made out of eggs and cream cheese, very yummy and LC... best with melted butter on top. Lots of recipes online for it.

Sugar hangovers are the worst. I never worry about counting calories after a day like you've described, I just make sure to keep my carb count even lower than usual (less than half of my normal intake), drink lots of water and exercise. I know it sounds like the LAST thing you want to do but trust me when I tell you that cardio (I go for a 4-5 mile jog) makes me feel a million times better. YMMV but that's what works for me.

Keto food even looks gross, I had some eggs and butter for breakfast but amazing how the carb cravings have arrived. All I feel like is butter and honey on toast, I even got the toaster out and then got hold of myself and chucked the bread out for the sparrows. I may fast for a day or two I think.

Way to go you! You stopped the cycle. Hang in there!

Thanks dudes and dudettes. It was a 3 day cake eating festival, and I may have eaten my weight in chocolate rum balls also.

I have tried oopsie rolls, I don't like them with sweetener but they are tolerable as a savoury dish.

I gained almost 4kg in 3 days! I'm off to put in a good weight lifting session, after all, I must have lots of easy to access glucose for my muscles right now...

@minties82 This recipe made me think of you!

That being said, something else to consider would be adding a fermented food. It can add/restore the bacterial gut balance that will help you ditch the misery sooner. I know you've read but I've added Kombucha - a fermented tea that resembles a fruity unsweet flat beer/wine/champagne to my taste buds. It took 3-4 days to get used to. Last night, we used barrel cured sauerkraut with bratwursts, which were seven levels of awesome. I don't know what you might have that would tempt your taste buds, now or normally, but the more I've done this, the better I feel.

Plus, if your stomach (and gallbladder or lack thereof) can handle it, a good 6-12 hours of water/salt fast is a great thing to reboot you. Crazy levels of ketones and banishing cravings... Might get you out of carb recovery hell faster!

SO SO awesome that despite the side effects, you are taking it in stride. That is a HUGE NSV in my book.

I'm actually dealing with this a little today. It's Day 10 and the low carb flu seems to have returned a bit (my calorie deficit was also too low).

So I woke up wanting all things carby. So I said to myself, "How about eggs, butter, and cheese?" My suddenly not-ravenous self went, "Well nah, then, maybe later."

Later came and I did eat a big meal, though. It's just like with a spoiled toddler, sometimes you have to insist!

Well back on the road to low carb heaven, thanks everyone for your help :-). Weight is down 2kg, another 2 to get back to where it was last Saturday morning.

@KnitOrMiss I'll see if that kombucha stuff is available in New Zealand, thank you!

Those rum balls look delicious, also unsure about the products used to make them though, I shall google. I have seen hemp flour and hemp lollipops, but not hearts. Google is not being hopeful, there are only really hemp protein powders and hemp seed oils. I also have not found almond flour anywhere yet :-(

You can find or make any naturally fermented products. Google will tell you what to use, etc.

Hemp flour would likely work. The seeds are what they grind down to make flour... The oil is another oil along side coconut oil and such... the hearts are just the hulled seeds. the lollipops might be a treat.

I don't do cheat days

They really are punishment days

For me being stupid enough to think rewarding myself by sickening my body is somehow good.

We have free doughnuts at work quite often. So far I have skipped them every time

I just don't want the derail of my body for a day.

@minties82, you've been an inspiration for me! Hang in there! Being able to recognize an eating disorder is paramount to control! You know that! I learned, through counseling, that giving people, or situations in life, control over my food choices (and health) can be detrimental. I was taught to take the control back and have been a success ever since! It's your control, you deserve to keep it too!

That is good, I'm glad you have good control. I wasn't trying to cheat or had planned on it, I have an eating disorder and often go into a frenzy. I haven't had any counselling for a long while and it is starting to show. Self-loathing is at an all time high. I don't think it's particularly helpful to imply stupidity on my part.

It wasn't.

I didn't quote you

I clearly stated it was my feelings

As far as I know, I don't need to filter how I feel about myself with you first.

Ahem...
Let's keep it civil, please.
It was a miscommunication. Both of you should unruffle them feathers and let it go.
